Segments to Improve

• Wall Balls: Completing this segment in 13:28, Ishan was 2:56 slower than average. To improve:
  • Drills: Practice wall balls with a focus on maintaining a steady rhythm. Use intervals of 30 seconds work followed by 15 seconds rest, gradually increasing work duration.
  • Form: Ensure the squat depth is consistent and the throw is efficient. Focus on using the legs to generate power rather than relying solely on the arms.
• Sandbag Lunges: With a time of 11:35, this was 3:28 slower than average. To improve:
  • Exercises: Incorporate lunges with varying weights. Use forward, reverse, and lateral lunges to improve balance and strength.
  • Form: Maintain an upright torso and ensure the knee doesn’t track too far over the toe. Engage the core throughout the movement.
• Sled Pull: Completed in 8:22, this was 1:07 slower than average. To improve:
  • Techniques: Focus on using the legs and core for power. Practice with different resistance levels to build strength and speed.
  • Training: Include rope pulls and sled drags in training to mimic race conditions.
• Farmers Carry: With a time of 4:00, this was 58 seconds slower than average. To improve:
  • Exercises: Perform farmers carries with heavier weights to build grip and core strength.
  • Form: Keep the shoulders back, chest up, and maintain a steady, controlled pace.
• Ski Erg: With a time of 5:24, this was 27 seconds slower than average. To improve:
  • Techniques: Focus on maintaining a consistent stroke rate. Engage the core and use the legs to assist with pulling.
  • Training: Incorporate interval training on the erg to build endurance and efficiency.

Race Strategies

• Consistent Pacing: Start at a sustainable pace during the initial running segments to conserve energy for later stages. Implement negative splits where the latter half of the race is run faster than the first half.
• Transition Efficiency: Improve the Roxzone time by minimizing rest and optimizing transitions between stations. Practice moving quickly and efficiently from one exercise to the next in training.
• Compromised Running: Train for running immediately after high-intensity exercises like the sled pull or farmers carry to mimic race conditions and improve running segments post-exercise.
